You probably already know this, but just in case, don't let the kittens come in contact with your other cat until they've tested negative for FeLV and FIV. Even if the other cat is vaccinated, the vaccines aren't meant to protect against continued contact.

Actually, if the kittens appear healthy, I wasn't going to worry too much about letting them get acquainted around the place. They'll undoubtedly at least see, even if I don't let them touch, our old cat.

I'm more concerned about watching damage ~to~ them from the other kitty, and watching the dogs carefully, than I am them bringing something in with them. They've been at a home and been nowhere else yet, so I don't picture them being likely candidates for disease.

Here's my old orange kitty, with the little lost kitten that ended up here for a few days. Her owner eventually found her. I've never had good luck bringing a second cat in to a house, but with that kitten, while there was a little tension at first, my old Tom ended up being remarkably maternal... :~D

So I'm hoping he'll be that way with these two too. We need to get some more mousers on the job around here and in the barn.

Nature abhors a vacuum. So do cats

Ha. My oldest boy has gone deaf. He now looooooves to be vacuumed!
